A resin molding systemcomprises a gripping deviceprovided with a gripping framefor gripping a resin sheet material, a heating device for heating the resin sheet materialand a molding device for clamping a lower dieand an upper die, and affixing the resin sheet materialto a substrate. The molding device is provided with: a lowering device for lowering the gripping deviceand causing the resin sheet materialgripped by the gripping frameto approach the lower die; and a pair of bent postswhich are provided on both Y-direction sides of the lower die, and which come in contact with portions of the gripping framewhen the gripping deviceis lowered, and which convexly bend the gripping frameupward as viewed from the side along the Y-direction.

Resin molding system and resin molding method

An instrument panel unit () includes an instrument panel () and a decorative sheet (). The instrument panel () includes a sticking portion () and an exposed portion (). A plurality of insertion groovesand insertion holesare formed alternately at an end on a rear side of the sticking portion (), into which bent pieces () formed at a rear end of the decorative sheet () are inserted. A groove front-surface () forming the insertion groove () of the instrument panel () is formed in a tapered shape such that a width between the groove front-surface and an opposing groove rear-surface () gradually increases upwardly. The bent piece () is formed to be thinner than the groove width at the upper part serving as the entrance part of the insertion groove () and to be thicker than the groove width of a groove bottom-surface ().
